Answer:

paramagnetic

Explanation:

The complex ion is : [Cr(CN)₆]³⁻

Oxidation state of Cr in [Cr(CN)₆]³⁻ is:

x + (-1)6 = -3

x = +3

CN⁻ is a strong field ligand which can result in pairing of the electrons.

The electronic configuration of Cr is:

1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d⁵4s¹

The electronic configuration of Cr³⁺ is:

1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d³

<u>These 3 electrons will be singly present in the 3 degenerate t₂g orbitals and per Hund's rule, pairing will not occur in the same level energy orbitals. So , no. of unpaired electrons will be 3 and the complex will be paramagnetic.</u>

A 1.87 L aqueous solution of KOH contains 155 g of KOH . The solution has a density of 1.29 g/mL . Calculate the molarity ( M ),

Semenov [28]

Answer:

[KOH] : 1.47 M

[KOH] : 1.22 m

[KOH]: 6.42 % mass percent.

Explanation:

First of all we must determine the volume of solution. We have to work with the density

Density = mass / volume

1.29 g/ml = mass / 1870 ml

1.29 g/ml . 1870 ml = 2412.3

Now we must convert the mass to moles

155g / 56.1 g/ mol = 2.76 moles

Now we can calculate molarity

2.76 mol / 1.87 L = 1.47 M

To calculate molality we have to find out the mass of solvent

mass solute + mass solvent = mass solution

155 g + mass solvent = 2412.3 g

2412.3g - 155g = 2257.3g

We have to convert the 2257.3 g to kg

2257.3 g = 2.25 kg

molality = 2.76 moles / 2.25 kg = 1.22 m

To find out the % mass percentation, we have to calculate the mass of solute in 100 g of solution.

In 2412.3 g of solution we have 155 g of KOH

In 100 g of solution, we would have (100 . 155) / 2412.3 = 6.42 %mass percent.

Why do prices increase when demand for a product is high? Companies know they can make more money by selling fewer products at h

viva [34]

Answer:

Companies know that people will be willing to spend more to get an in-demand product.

Explanation:

When a product is really in demand, many customers are willing to part with more money order to purchase the product, as a result of that, many companies may take advantage of the increasing demand for the product to hike it's price.

Hence, the increase in price may not really have a negative impact on the quantity demanded because the demand for the product is high and customers are willing to spend more money in order to purchase an in-demand product, hence the answer above.
